- Summary: Your mom's got Van Morrison on repeat, she wants to talk "mother daughter trust," and there's still hundreds of miles left to go. Trapped inside a family car trip gone horribly wrong.

Review of Family Vacation

Funny and well-done. "Forced intimacy" and "raised hackles" - Jesse expresses herself very well. The irony of this piece is that "experts" say that the intimacy of the car encourages discussion with one's teenager. So much for experts. Great piece to air especially during the summer vacation season or maybe during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season which is also a big family drive time.
